Overview
Multi-site Workload Lifeline enables intelligent load balancing of TCP/IP workloads across two sites at unlimited distances to provide nearly continuous availability.
Utilizes server application health, availability, and system image capacity; in combination with two tiers of load balancing; to allow distribution of an enterprise’s workloads across applications on a system, systems within a site’s sysplex, or even across sites. Intelligent load balancing offers:
- Increased performance: Response time is reduced by ensuring new connections for a workload are distributed to the applications and systems most capable of handling them
- Increased availability: New connections for a workload can be routed to available servers even in the event of server, sysplex, system, or site outages
- Increased scalability: Server instances can be added on demand
- Analytic capability: Network Management Interface (NMI) provides access to workload, site, and server status information
- Reduction of Recovery Time Objective from hours to minutes
- Workload migration: Ability to move workloads from one site to the other with minimal disruption
